CFD simulations of offshore oil and gas platforms are used to predict the maximum wind loads acting on the structure of the platform topsides (the upper half of the platform, above sea level and ...

Jane Housley, a BYU mathematics graduate and wildfire modeling researcher, developed a faster, smarter way to predict how wind moves through fire-prone terrain. Her work could help firefighters ...

In this special guest feature, Robert Roe from Scientific Computing World writes that HPC simulation provides a platform to develop advancements in energy generation technologies. Through the use of ...

For the aeroelastic simulation and analysis of wind turbines, models of different levels of complexity are used. The vibrational behavior due to the interaction of elastic structure and unsteady ...

To understand 1D-3D CFD and 3D-1D CFD, we have reviewed the history of attempts at both loose and close coupling of 1D and 3D CFD codes, the motivations of engineers who did it, and the benefits to be ...
